PES 2014 Review Round-Up

Suff and Nico are currently working on the WENB verdict, but below you’ll find a list of reviews so far from various different websites. You might even notice a familiar name if you click on the link for the CVG review. I think you’ll find the overall opinion to be very positive!

“Ultimately, it’s a real testament to the enduring satisfaction of PES’s gameplay – a football experience based on freedom and creativity – that it’s still worth recommending in spite of these obvious shortcomings.”

“PES 2014 is sure to test your football skills, as the improved A.I. is smarter, playing to real-life team strengths. One-on-one interactions require patience and attention on intricate ball movements. It’s an impressive step in the right direction and it’s refreshing to see these new ideas in action.”

“When PES 14 truly shines, though, it outplays its megaton rival in several key areas. If you’re willing to scrape beneath the surface and accept its technical and licensing shortcomings, then this offers a nuanced, deeply rewarding game of football. If Konami can iron out those issues next season, PES United could yet be champions.”

“To a degree Konami can be excused for taking a year or two out as they are most likely working on something fresh for the next generation of consoles, it’s a pitfall when you sign yourself up to yearly releases. However it doesn’t excuse the fact that for all its supposed new bells and whistles Pro Evolution Soccer 14 is nigh on the same game as last year.”
